Raven just wanted peace, a tub of ice cream, and a few hours without the world asking for anything more. But, in a single night, monsters emerge in the city center, ordinary people awaken powers, and a system decides to choose him as a hero.
The problem is, Raven hates responsibility.
While others chase fame and heroic poses, he just wants to survive, go back to bed, and pretend nothing happened. But his power, Super Adaptation, evolves precisely through pain, effort, and chaos - the worst kind of ability possible for someone lazy, sarcastic, and exhausted from adult life.
Now, amidst mysterious crystals, brutal battles, urban destruction, government, and a system that seems to have been programmed by a call center manager, Raven will discover that saving the world might be the easy part.
Urban fantasy, action, system, power progression, mystery, supernatural apocalypse, and a reluctant protagonist who just wanted to stop having to work.
